Lots of people have asked me to send them the CAD models of our 2008 robot Tumbleweed. I figured if I posted the assembly model someone might be interested.

The robot was designed using SolidWorks but I posted a universal STEP file for download.

This model may not 100% represent the final robot. As everyone knows, there is a certain amount of “tweaking” during the build process, and sometimes the CAD model never catches up. Also, no matter how many times I say “CAD every detail!” we never quite CAD every detail…

Please direct any questions on this design to me (John V-Neun) via PM, email, or IM (all available through this site).
